hye guys!

i am soooo newbie that i dont even have a car yet!!
but i just wanna standby a basic ICE system for my upcoming car~

for now, i have this speakers, bid from lelong...
i dont know the retail price...maybe i bid higher then the retail, i dont know~
i bid coz i cant go out as my leg was fractured due to an accident....
so i spend my 2 months of un-spend salary to go online shopping...
this is what i already got, is it ok for a good sound quality? :

PIONEER TSA1680S
6.5" 220 WATT SPEAKER

PIONEER TST250
150 WATT TWEETER

SONY XS-GF1322X
150W 5 1/4 inch 2 Way Coaxial Speaker

i listen to wide range of musics..
from swedish death metal/emo rock to experimental/ambient,
gemelan bali style to hip hop/pop r&b,
jazz to country...
im universal~
SOMETIMES i would like to have my music loud....
especially when travelling with friends~

now searching for a HU...and need ur suggestion~
do i need crossover?
do i need an amp?
do i need a subwoofer?
btw my budget is quite tight, so u know~

im currently interested in Sony CDXS11
# ID3 Tagging.
# 4 x 5 watt RMS
# 1 Pre Out
# CR / RW Compatible
# Detachable Facia
# RDS
# MP3 Playback (optional).
# Drive 5 technology for clearer sound at higher volume
any suggestion? my budget for HU is below 300RM (ok hah?)

im using ipod,
but its not a problem for not having an AUX output coz i'll use the car-kit...
and cant play mp3 cd's is also not a big problem since i hv ipod~

so hopefully can guide me here...
i dont need a super duper ICE, just a basic...
and sound is clear and dont have those pecah2 sound...

thanks guys!

p/s : if anyone wanna sell thier HU or AMP to me also can...pm me ur best price...

haha...yeah, thats right...
act what i need to know is, what spec of HU or AMP for this type of speakers?...
and how much? im learning here...
maybe perhaps u guys can give me a few model for me to compare on the price?



so can i skip the AMP and crossover?
bcos at first i was thinking of only having speakers and HU...
but after i browse through all the topics here, i found out that u guys give a big deal on amp and crossovers...so thats why i ask~



the the one i would like to buy is the old series or new series? its xplod btw....

wow!
need to think about it first...

sorry, my knowledge in ICE is very2 low..

nope...



thinking of that also!

owh, great!!! thanks for ur words!!! thanks!!

so based on DeReturner sugestions,

is it ok if for now,
i use the speakers just as what he suggest,
and add a crossover only...

and the amp and subwoofer will come later?
i will still hv a nice sound coming out rite?

so the prob is HU...need more inputs from u guys~

any one with 2ndhand crossover??~

erm...the pioneer...its below 300 ah?
can give link to the page? thanks!

"after sub-woofer, active crossover, if the speaker still working find, if feel wanna change it component speaker then active crossover.
Estimate can get everything on averange ICE within RM2000. "

sorry, but i dont really get what u mean....err....hehe...sory...

haha....maybe u guys can just consider it as "i get it from my uncle for free and i only need to know what's next for this speakers~ "
ok hah?

hey, thanks for the advises!!
yeah, i think ure right, get the spekers inside, buy an average quality HU,
and add a crossover....and i get a just nice ICE for average use...rite?

so the subwoofer and amp comes later...
can u guys suggest some models?

and if i go for pioneer HU, ok huh?
can match my pioneer speakers~ yeah~
i found this thread in Garage Sales selling PIONEER HUs...
the price is just a bit over my budget,RM300+~

DEH-2850MP - RM(3XX) (no remote)
4-CHANNEL HIGH-POWER WMA/MP3/CD RECEIVER

so? any advice?
comparing this PIONEER and SONY Xplod CDXS11, which one is better?

haha...but i once impressed by Xplod series sound~ (back in collage days)
and at that time, i target for a complete set of Xplod system for my future car...
not till i browse and found that many of u guys are not into sony...

hahaha....
act, my idea is that i wanna stanby a basic ICE system b4 i buy a car,
so that i will not face money prob when i own a car...
u know, my salary is not that big,
so if minus all the bills, pay for car, shopping and bla bla,
then how to save on ICE?

so when i get my car, i will only have to spend money on installing and upgrading~

of coz ill use it laa~
just wanna know the next step...
about HU and AMP...
and learn a bit on ICE from u guys...

woooo....6k~
see first...wanna save for ICE alone pon sudah sakit~
hahaha...

neway, im not interested in engine performance....standard also can...
maybe i only need a nice ICE system, tinted glass, a nice rims, and perhaps bodykit, thats all...

hey u re from ampang....
maybe can meet up to get some advice from u after i get my car?

cheers~

hahaha...
wait till my leg sembuh first~
then can go look for a car...
for now, get ready with the basic ICE first...

still thinking what car to buy...
wira/savvy/kenari/kancil
yup low budget...for normal use only...
maybe a 2nd hand also ok.....

thanks! will buzz u if i oredi hv a car~

act i like wira and savvy

but with my tight budget, i think i'll go for 2nd hand wira...
space, cheap, and aftermarket parts....
its for normal use, im not that type of car performance guy...


and wait till my boss up my salary, then can change to a new car heh?
hehehhe~

hey ure selling off ur crossover huh?

errr..im not supporting p1 or p2..

but one thing for sure,
i have a proton at home rite now,
its a saga..and its a very old saga...
my uncle using it since im darjah 2~
and my dad bought it from my uncle, so its 2nd hand~
the saga is still ok till now~
and now, im using it...no prob at all~
just abit here and there bcoz its too old...
never rosak at highway...
can drive from johor to kedah, no prob~

and most of my family members using proton..
and i never heard they complain about their cars.....
same goes to perodua.....
so for me it doesn't matter....
i think it depends on how u take care the car....
thats all...

neway, i will just using it for normal use,
go to work, go shopping, hving tt...
for me cars are just cars...but i just want a bigger car....for some purpose~
got bumbung, tak kena hujan & panas, comfortable, look nice and hv a just nice basic ICE system! thats all, and its ok with me~

if talking about dream cars, then its a diff story~

but hey, this will not be my car forever....
note that im also searching for 2nd hand cars,
means i will only use it for say, 2-3 years only...
then of course i'll buy a new one, a better one,
and make this 2ndhand car as my second car; go to pasar~

ok huh?

i think maybe a HU first....
based on what the sifus adviced,
i will just have the speakers with HU....(use the bulit in eq?)
see how it goes with the speakers...
and save more money to buy a woofer and amp later~
rite sifus?

but i think i will need the crossovers for my tweeters, rite?

budget is tight, but i can still afford <RM500 for HU....

agreed!!

and sorry for a bit off topic there....
happens that im also looking for car, thats why~

any advice on this, sifus?
